An Epoch of Advancement

During the time period of 500 B.C. -1492 B.C., major advancements was what formed much progress throughout this time period, and soon to come in the future. An example is how the steps to progress lead to a democratic government, in which to this day, we follow. During this time, the Greek civilization had reached the top of their time period due to the achievements they had done. Due to people like Socrates, their pivotal role in the Greek society where philosophy and science was prominent made their study advanced. Due to people like him many debates lasted on philosophy. But without a doubt most of his discoveries in the fields he studied and progressed marks a basis in which we started to comprehend his methods. Additionally, war had crept out through many opposing beliefs we still feel today, military rule vs. democratic rule. in this case 2 Greek cities, Sparta, which was militaristic, faced Athens, Democrats. However, in the end Sparta marked a victory and a new empire was formed, lead by Alexander the Great. Soon after all of this, Greece had collapsed. Soon, towards the west came the victorious Roman empire.  Through their power, they had the right to take control of most of the Mediterranean world. After time the Romans gained the power to conquer territory that was made of Jew's. Most of the Roman empire was from Great Britain to Iraq. Some of the main effects it had to affect us today is there is distinct religions, politics, and economics. Much of progress is shown in Asia, where they would collectively trade west along the Silk road. Trade would soon help the rest of history  due to the amount of trade and trades taken and to gain more knowledge internationally. Additionally, China had progressed since gun powder was invented, in which was a help in later time for many explorers to have guns and soon which can be used during war and murder. A religion Asia followed had been Buddhism, though many governments and militaries  says it has less influence. it represented religion just like Islam did, under guidance of Muhammad. It shows how religion had a major role since it is what we worship today and how it's changed but followed throut the years. Even though all these things meant advancemetn, there was also the Black death, which killed many people around Europe, which was history for how it spreaded and how almost all populationin Europe would've vanished, and how now its different since some managed o live.
